"Beautifully brutal in the best way. By the end of this book I was
on my feet cheering. You will be, too."
*N.K. Jemisin, author of the Hugo Award-winning THE FIFTH
SEASON*
“Suyana Supaki is a heroine you wish were real. She's a living,
breathing woman of spirit and mettle—the kind of woman the world
hates, for having too much of a mind of her own. Her story in
Persona offers the reader a reminder of the enduring power other
people have to surprise you, just when it feels like all hope is
lost.”
*Sonia Saraiya, television critic at Salon*
"Suyana is a great character—chosen as a puppet, but smarter and
more determined than many of those who would pull her strings.”
*Library Journal*
"Valentine has crafted a really intriguing thriller with Persona,
one that reminded me a bit of Max Berry’s brilliant novel Jennifer
Government....a lightning fast read, but there’s as satisfying
level of substance to the story that makes this an interesting read
from beginning to end."
